The seven sessions reflect typical fields of application where small to mid-sized organizations can benefit from free software. Each session will be followed by detailed 10-minute reports of production use or 10-minute product presentations on major Open Source solutions. The topics include alternatives to Exchange, and Groupware solutions based on Open Source, high availability and clustering for mid-sized businesses, spam and viruses, effective strategies with free software or Windows/Linux integration with Server Based Computing. Details of the program, prices and registration are available here.
